The Seahawks have claimed defensive back Loucheiz Purifoy off waivers from the Colts and placed linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis on injured reserve, ending his season, per KJR-950 AM in Seattle. Pierre-Louis injured his shoulder Week 11 against Kansas City. His season ends with 13 combined tackles and one fumble recovery in seven games played.

The Seahawks waived sixth-round pick Garrett Scott, an offensive tackle from Marshall, due to a heart ailment that prevented him from passing his physical. Scott won't have to return his signing bonus of about $100,000.

Wright signed contract extension in December to remain in Seattle through 2018, when he will earn a $7.2 million base salary. In his first four seasons with the Seahawks, Wright has totaled 350 tackles with 6 1/2 sacks and one interception.

Palmer was let go three days after his signing. He had been cut by Chicago on Tuesday. He has only played in five regular season games in five years. Moorman has been booting for the Bills as the No. 1 punter 2001, aside from one season with Dallas.

The talk around the water cooler Monday morning and on pretty much every sports show -- whether on television, radio or the Internet -- is about the Seahawks' final play call that resulted in Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler picking off quarterback Russell Wilson's pass in the end zone and clinching a 28-24 win in Super Bowl 49 for New England.

It seems the consensus is that Seattle should have leaned on star running back Marshawn Lynch to run the football for the potential go-ahead score. Still, the Seahawks stand by the play call after the loss, with offensive coordinator Darren Bevell adding, “It was a great look, the look we wanted to get."

Picking on replacement cornerback Tharold Simon, Tom Brady threw an 11-yard slant to Brandon LaFell for his 50th career postseason touchdown pass. It was Brady's 10th Super Bowl scoring toss, second only to Joe Montana's 11.

Simon was playing for Jeremy Lane, who hurt his arm after intercepting Brady in the end zone. Simon also gave up Julian Edelman's 23-yard gainer on the drive.

LaFell, by the way, was a 12-to-1 long shot at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook to score the game's first touchdown.

Kam Chancellor

News

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll reiterated that safety Kam Chancellor is "going to be fine" and that he will not need offseason surgery -- much like secondary-mate Richard Sherman, according to the Tacome News Tribune.

Chancellor suffered a deep bone bruise and a tear in his medial collateral ligament in practice days before Super Bowl 49 against New England. Last season, he totaled 78 tackles in 2014 with one interception and one forced fumble in 14 games. It remains to be seen if Chancellor will be ready for Seattle's offseason workout programs.

Doug Baldwin

News

Seahawks wideout Doug Baldwin apologized to the team's fans for picking up a 15-yard penalty in Super Bowl 49, according to the Seattle Times.

Baldwin appeared on a local radio show on Monday, and said he made a mistake in the moment. "In that moment it was just a reaction," Baldwin said. "So obviously if I could go back, I would take it back."

Baldwin admitted his actions, which picked up the penalty, were directed at opposing cornerback Darrelle Revis. "There was competitive stuff going on in that game and in that moment I just let out what I felt personally," Baldwin said. He also admitted he was frustrated by his lack of opportunities during the game.

Bennett played in 16 games during the 2014 season and registered seven sacks.

Cassius Marsh

Jordan Hill

News

The Seahawks announced a several of roster moves on Tuesday, according to the Everett Herald. The team placed defensive tackle Jordan Hill on injured reserve with a calf injury. In a corresponding move, Seattle signed defensive back Steven Terrell off the practice squad to fill Hill's roster spot. Defensive tackle Jimmy Staten was also signed to the practice squad.

Hill played in 13 games, recording 19 tackles, 5.5 sacks and an interception.

Avril signed a four-year extension with Seattle in December and will earn $7 million in 2018 with a signing bonus of $500,000 and a roster bonus of $500,000 if he is still on the team.

Avril has spent the last two seasons with the Seahawks, totaling 43 tackles and 13 sacks in 31 games.

Robert Turbin

News

The Seahawks backup runners didn't do much Week 14 against the Eagles.

Christine Michael turned in a solid performance, gaining 32 yards on six carries. He did not receive a target in the passing game. Robert Turbin gained just 7 yards on four carries, but did factor into the passing game. Turbin hauled in one pass for 14 yards.

Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said the backup quarterback battle between Tarvaris Jackson and Terrelle Pryor won't be decided for a while, reports the Seattle Times. "We will kind of just let it go for the next three weeks and see what happens," Bevell said.

Pryor went 9 of 16 for 137 yards with an interception and ran for 28 yards in the preseason opener. Jackson, last year's backup, hit 5 of 7 throws for 47 yards.

Sherman injured himself during the NFC Championship game, but was able to play through Super Bowl 49 despite the issue. It was initially believed Sherman would need surgery after the game, but he's feeling better now, and will attempt to rehab the injury. There's still a chance Sherman will need surgery if rehab doesn't work.

Tony Moeaki

News

Seahawks starting right tackle Justin Britt (knee) and safety Jeron Johnson (elbow) are questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers.

Russell Wilson

News

Seahawks general manager John Schneider told reporters during Thursday's combine press conference that there is "no timeline" on Russell Wilson's contract extension, per the Palm Beach Post.

"I've talked to his people, and they know where we're at," Schneider said.

Schneider also indicated last week that he's expecting to find a way to keep his top quarterback on the roster long-term and he is not afraid to do so unconventionally. Wilson, who has one year left on his rookie contract, has led Seattle to back-to-back Super Bowl appearances. Wilson registered 3,475 passing yards, with 20 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2014. He also ran for 849 yards and six touchdowns.

Justin Renfrow

News

The Seahawks have signed 11 players to future contracts, the team announced Wednesday.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Zach Miller should be ready in time for next season.

Speaking at the Indianapolis scouting combine, Carroll said that Miller is recovering well from the ankle injury that ended his 2014 season. Miller had surgery during the Seahawks' week four bye, but he wasn't able to recover in time to return to the team.

Seahawks punter Jon Ryan doesn't normally throw the ball. But when called on Sunday, Ryan delivered. With Seattle down 16-0, the Seahawks lined up for what would have been a 38 yard field goal, when Ryan pulled the ball away from kicker Steven Hauschka and started to scramble.

Chancellor was a late addition to the injury report, when he fell on the next-to-last play of practice and missed the last play. He was not limping on his way off. All other players were full participants in practice Friday.

The Seahawks are currently 1-point underdogs against New England.

Luke Willson

News

Seahawks tight end Luke Willson had a career performance Week 16 at Arizona, going for 139 yards and two touchdowns, including an 80-yarder in the second quarter. But those numbers distract from one just as important: His three catches were his only three targets on the day.

Even with quarterback Russell Wilson attempting more than 30 passes for just the second time in five games, Willson wasn't any more targeted than usual. It's just that two of them happened to result in big plays.

The long touchdown was probably a fluke. He got behind the defense, an oversight on its part, and ran away from everyone after he caught the ball. Big deal. Take it away, and he had two catches for 59 yards and a touchdown -- a good performance by his standards, but nothing that would send Fantasy owners flocking to the waiver wire.

Even though Willson got the numbers, Wilson's preferred targets were wide receivers Doug Baldwin and Paul Richardson, who had 11 and seven targets, respectively. Those were season highs for each.

If you can't count on them to get consistent looks in the Seahawks offense, you certainly can't count on Willson to. He's had only three games with more than four all season, none in the last three weeks.

Eric Pinkins

News

The Seahawks announced several roster moves on Tuesday, per the team's official website. The team will keep defensive back Eric Pinkins (foot) on the reserve/non-football injury list for the remainder of the season.

Seahawks starting right tackle Justin Britt (knee) and safety Jeron Johnson (elbow) are questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers.

Britt missed practice on Wednesday and practiced in full Thursday before participating in a limited fashion Friday. He'll be a gametime decision, and Alvin Bailey will be plugged into the starting lineup if Britt can't go, Pro Football Talk reports.

Seahawks wideout Chris Matthews led the team in receiving during Super Bowl 49.

Matthews didn't catch a ball during the regular season, but made up for it in this game. Matthews was consistently able to use his speed and size to out-muscle the Patriots defensive backs. He finished with four catches for 109 yards and a score during the contest.

James Carpenter

News

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday on 710 ESPN Seattle that guard James Carpenter suffered a concussion during the Super Bowl, but the team didn't realize it during the game because he never came out, the Everett Herald reports.

Carpenter played all 54 offensive snaps during the 28-24 loss to New England, and it's unclear when he suffered the concussion. He's scheduled to reach unrestricted free agency this offseason.

General manager John Schneider confirmed the news, saying there's a "50/50 chance" Richardson will open next year on the PUP list. Richardson tore his ACL during the team's playoff win over the Panthers.

"His surgery went great, and he’s such a freak athlete that I wouldn’t put anything past him, but I think there’s a 50/50 chance he goes into the PUP window, and we need to continue to address that position much like we do every other position," Schneider said. If Richardson goes on the PUP list, he would miss the first six games of the 2015 season.

Richardson was drafted in the second round of the 2014 draft. He hauled in 29 catches for 271 yards and a score during his rookie season.

Schneider noted that Maxwell is "one of ours," but "I'm sure his market will be strong." Maxwell, a sixth-round selection by Seattle in the 2011 draft, recorded 39 tackles, 12 pass deflections and two interceptions in 2014.

"Those are tough decisions as you go, but we're not changing anything we do," Schneider said, per the Everett Herald. "So if Byron does move on, we'll be hopefully having another young Byron Maxwell out there."

Nate Isles

News

The Seahawks have signed 11 players to future contracts, the team announced Wednesday.

Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Thursday that nose tackle Brandon Mebane is "doing well" in his recovery from a torn hamstring, the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Schneider added that Mebane is on track to be ready for the beginning of the 2015 season. The nose tackle said in late January that the surgery to repair the torn hamstring went well and that he anticipated being back to 100 percent by April.

Neither Thomas nor Wagner can participate in the game as both prepare to take on the Patriots in next week's Super Bowl.

Jackson led Indianapolis with 140 tackles in 2014, including four sacks while Adams totaled 87 tackles and grabbed a team-high five interceptions.

Clint Gresham

News

The Seahawks released the practice report for Thursday's session, with safety Earl Thomas (shoulder), running back Marshawn Lynch (not injury related) and guard J.R. Sweezy (ankle) listed as did not participate for a second straight day.

Earl Thomas

News

Seahawks coach John Schneider told reporters on Thursday that safety Earl Thomas has yet to have the surgery he needs to his separated shoulder and torn labrum, reports the TacomaNews Tribune.

Thomas suffered the injury in the first half of the NFC Championship Game against Green Bay, and played the rest of the way, including Super Bowl 49 against New England. Schneider said there's no issues with Thomas being ready for the start of the season, adding "he attacks everything."

When asked whether Thomas would be ready for the start of training camp, the Seahawks general manager replied, "You know, I’m not sure. We are going to monitor him and make sure we do what’s best for long term. He’s going to be scratching and fighting to get out there as soon as he can. But we just don’t know where he will be. Between our performance staff and our trainers, those guys will have a great idea of where he is and will make sure he is taken care of."

Thomas started 16 games in 2014 and registered 97 tackles with one interception.
